A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.

[THREAD]

 A process is just a set of rituals you complete consistently every single day to achieve a certain outcome (profit).

A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
I believe that trading can be split into three elements:

1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset

Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.

These factors make up the trading trinity.
MY SCANNING PROCESS:

In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)
I like to use websites such as:
- https://t.co/dGrDjwtOR8
- https://t.co/Vc256oZCre
- https://t.co/AFrA2ebGr6
- https://t.co/N9nDmqz54E
- https://t.co/0aEt36amzx
- https://t.co/K5b5oercFQ

Usually, I’m left with ~5 stocks in a warm market. I make 2 stocks my main watches and the rest are on the back burner.

I hone in on my top 2.

Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
Next, I go through all of the charts for the stocks that I’m interested in.

I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH

Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
MY TRADE SETUP:

INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars

TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day
My entries will vary depending on price action and the likelihood of a stock coming down to my level.

I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.

I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.
I don’t know exactly what level a stock will come to so I monitor which range they’re current trading in and I assume they continue trading there.

When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
If price does end up respecting that level then I will take an entry with risk just beneath the level.

I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.

I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.
Alternatively, I will play more seasonal strategies and chart patterns which require their own set of rules.

Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.

*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I do take into consideration supply and demand but I may not draw zones instead I try to have a key level to cover a point in the zone.

I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.

This helps me better understand the price action.
I’m selective when it comes to picking my stocks and I’m averse when it comes to taking on big risks.

I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.

I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.
When it comes to position size, I like to go heavy since my downside risk is minimal and I will quickly cut for a paper cut loss. Also, I will move my stops to break-even after a leg up.

You can calculate position size by:

Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
It goes without saying but my risk levels are set around key technical or psychological levels.

I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.

I don’t hold bags!
When it comes to scaling, I have different approaches…

Either I will:

1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
At the end of the day, I close out all of my positions since I’m a day trader.

However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.

I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
This is simply my style and strategy that suits my lifestyle and my personality.

It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.

It works for me but it may not work for you.

You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Another thing is I’ve recently been using ADR% as a metric to determine range.

Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.

Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
As for my trading rules, here are a list of 15 principles that I live by:
It’s not rocket science whatsoever.

Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.

There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.

It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
Also, a big shoutout to @MullinsMomentum, @Tuckerbrees, @RocketCatchnBob, @bear_fuker and @singlesdoubles because they have heavily influenced my trading style and they have helped me find a niche in day trading.

In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

🐳 Watchlists + @unusual_whales 🐳

Unusual Whales is an incredible tool that can take anyone's trading to the next level. It presents a ton of data, which can often be hard to synthesize.

This thread will provide a simplistic approach to analyzing and utilizing flow data. 🌊

1. Where To Start

Start with the "Hot Chains & Tickers" page. Not only does this display the tickers with the most option volume, but it also shows the most active chains. Better yet, you can filter by sector and market cap.

Below are some specific filter examples:


2. Analysis

The "Intraday Analyst" page is your best friend here. The first thing I do is scroll down to the "Most Active Chains" table.

I'm looking for short-term exp. OTM contracts with heavy volume that look "unusual."

Examples are included below:


$LCID - Closed Wed. 11/3 ~$36.50. 40c weeklies required a 10% move in 2 days to go ITM. $LCID closed at $41.80 on Friday.

$AMD - Closed Tues. 11/2 ~$127.60. 130c got hit hard. Closed the week over $136.

$NVDA - Closed Thurs. 10/28 ~249.40, 250c 🔨. Closed Friday ~255.70.

Weekly OTM strikes with heavy volume can lead to huge moves. Now what makes these so unusual?

- OTM with little time to exp. = urgency
- Heavy volume on a certain strike can mean volatility in that area = good for options
- Vol. much greater OTM than ATM = big move possibility

My hyper specific @unusual_whales strategy, The Blue Whalevator. A Thread.

This is an intraday strategy I've developed. It only takes huge whales, waits for confirmation, and filters out 99% of plays.

Fewer trades but high prob setups for bigger

The requirements are so specific and narrow that you will only get a few alerts a day. Once you get the alert, follow the checklist.

Today, the method took two trades so far.

$UPST 200c 9.00 > 12.20
$UPST 195c 10.30 > 15.00


The benefit of being hyper specific & requiring a long list of criteria protects us from false signals such as this one on $TSLA today.

Confirmation never hit and the move gave a false positive before breaking down. There's now a whale somewhere with an angry wife.


Here's another signal today that we would've not traded as it didn't meet the confirmation criteria.

As we are focusing intraday, we need to see moves in the desired direction occur relatively quickly to show that the momentum is there for an intraday play.

$NFLX


On Friday, the strategy went 3/3 moves for good gains.

It filtered out many more false signals by waiting for confirmation criteria.

Finding key levels.

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of you guys have been asking why are @AdamSliverTrade and other League members levels a little different than the ones you’ve mapped out. Here’s a little information that will help you understand why and better the levels you create!

1. Find the daily range of the stock.

Measure the last 5-7 daily candles wick to wick (eliminating any outliers) and calculate the average move the stock makes.

A good example of a outlier candle that you would exclude:


2. Calculate 20-25% of the average daily range the stock moves.

The average range in the example above is about 2.00 (meaning that on any given day you could expect the stock to move 2 points)

20-25% of 2.00 = .40-.50

3. Place Key Level triggers 20-25% above and below the Market closing Price

In this example, You want your call and put triggers at key levels approximately .40-.50 away from the Market closing price.

Here’s FIVE Trading lessons I’ve learned after blowing Two trading accounts

I’ve found consistency in this market after learning these lessons. I really hope someone out there can relate to some of these lessons and become a better trader ✍️

Lesson 1: Journal Everyday 📓

Write down every single trade that you take. How did you feel when you were in this trade? What type of trade was it? Did you follow your system? What time did you take the trade?

If you aren’t big on writing use @tradersync

Going back and reading your trading journal will show you what works best for YOU. It will show you what time of the day do you normally kill it and what type of trades have a higher win rate. From there you discard what isn’t working and implement what is working.

Lesson 2: Have patience

Of course you need to have patience waiting for clean set ups, but the biggest thing you need to have patience with is this journey!

It takes real time and effort to build skill. That same approach you had waiting 4 years to attain a degree is the approach you need in trading. You jump in the game and see crazy P&L’s left and right, but you don’t see all the time and effort traders put into this.

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this

1. “Who Are Ireland’s Members Of The World Economic Forum Implementing The Great Reset In 2021 ? 🧵1/28

🕵️🔎 Politicians, Musicians, Clergy, Bankers, Journalists, Human Rights, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, Corporations & Agriculture


2. In previous threads I have looked at 🇮🇪 key players in the Trilateral Commission as well as 🇮🇪 people who have attended the Bilderberger meetings. I also looked at the 🇮🇪 in the Young Global Leaders which is a site run by the WEF. You will see a lot of crossover between them.

3. The purpose of this thread is to compile all the Irish members into one thread for ease of access and reading rather than having to dive through the WEF site. This is by no means definitive and I will be adding more over time when they pop out of the woodwork.

4. Ireland’s WEF members are drawn from all walks of life but can be split into 2 separate areas. The WEF calls the first category “people” and the 2nd one “agenda contributors”. In total Ireland has a minimum of 61 members. Some of the names will be familiar and others will not

5. In this thread I’m just going to concentrate on the 21 people (there are probably a lot more). There are also 40 “agenda contributors” which I will cover in a separate thread. The agenda contributors are those who write articles or do research for the WEF site.

Today is Jayanti of Ahilyabai Holkar

She was a widow who became Malwa's greatest queen. Defended our country & personally led armies into battle.Never plundered anyone. Developed Malwa into a prosperous kingdom. Rebuilt temples destroyed by Mughals. Built Dharmashalas at Tirthas


Unfortunately, her memory has been blemished by inaccurate representations in modern popular media.

The serial "Punyashlok Ahilyabai" depicts her as ultra secularist feminazi icon who questions Hindu rituals & Pandits while patronising Sufis.

This is far from historical truth!


Ahilyabai was born on May 31 1725 to Patil Mankoji Shinde.

She was from Dhangar clan(classified as OBC today). While Dhangars were traditionally into herding, they took up arms & held several military /civil roles in various eras of history(especially during Maratha resurgence)


In 1737, when she was 12, Ahilyabai Holkar was married to Khanderao , son of Subedar Malhar Rao Holkar.

By the time she was married, fortunes of Holkar family had already waxed.

Malhar Rao was a Subedar of territory comprising 30 Parganas yielding a revenue of at least 7 Lakh


In 1741, when Ahilyabai was newly married, her father -in-law Malhar Rao Built Indore palace & ordered the kanungo to populate the settlement with a promise of protection to traders.

This began rise of Indore from its background as modest trading town Indrapuri to a great city

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.


There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi

Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.

He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.

He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that
